Internet Explorer 5.0 Preview, Part II: Final Thoughts - Doc JavaScript

A Final Word

In this column we continued our previous review of Internet Explorer 5.0's Behaviors. We have discussed in detail all methods, properties, and elements related to Behaviors. We have demonstrated through our implementation of the Connect Three game, the usage of these new features. After reading this column you should know how to take advantage of all Behavior's features. In particular, you should know how to write a behavior scriptlet, how to define the custom events, how to pass data from the hosting page to the scriptlet and back, and how to fire events from a scriptlet.

In this column you have learned:

• How to use the Behavior Handler's event element.
• How to use the Behavior Handler's element property.
• How to use the Behavior Handler's attachNotification() method.
• How to use the Behavior Handler's createEventObject() method.
• How to use the Behavior Handler's fireEvent() method.
• How to use the Behavior Handler's attachEvent() and detachEvent() methods.
• How to specify the Behavior Handler's location.
• How to use the Behavior Handler's uniqueID property.

We have also shown you the entire file for the hosting page and the behavior scriptlet.
